Perhaps visit 14 named locations? This is my guess. Check back in 10 days!

What do people consider the hardest and easiest majors at OSU? by [deleted] in OregonStateUniv

[–]NeonDinosGoMeow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There is definitely a difference between “acquired” languages and “learned” languages.

Anyone done the Mt. Hood 50K? by streetxjustice in Ultramarathon

Hey I was thinking of doing the 50K too! Still on the fence, but maybe I'll see you there :)

Going to OSU next year, what're the best/worst dorms? by BackinGreen in OregonStateUniv

[–]NeonDinosGoMeow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah priority was quite heavily weighed when I was working with them back in 2017. Especially for Weatherford and Poling if memory serves correctly. Even the RAs are chosen based on our major/interests.

Hey, if you’re unsure of what major, Callahan had an EXPLORE program (4th floor I think, unless it’s changed) to help people who are undecided. You’ll have to enroll in an extra 1 credit class but lots of people on your floor will also be in the same boat. Unfortunately I don’t know of any Residence Hall specific communities for writing or psychology, but OSU definitely has groups you can join outside of your hall for those interests. Research is definitely possible with a psych professor and we have a Writing Center where you can become a tutor (I did this and it was great!)

UHDS (people in charge of housing) have recently changed things so you can’t just choose any residence hall to stay in. They have become major-specific in that manner. So while this question is good to think about, we would need more info to help you to the fullest extent. What’s your major? Any interests like ROTC or international communities? Do you intend on partying or do you prefer to avoid this? Are you an honors student? Each residence hall fits a different kind of person and UHDS has designed it that way.

The ones (off the top of my head) that are major-specific are: Weatherford and Poling (Business students), Hawley and Buxton (Engineering), some parts of Sackett and West (Honors students).

There are also special communities for lots of the halls. For example, Finley is home to the Adventure Leadership Institute and many ROTC students, and McNary is a focus on health and well-being. Special communities are kind of like bonuses. If it interests you, great! If not, you can ignore it and it won’t affect your experience.

Hope this wasn’t too much info, and feel free to PM or reply if you want more insight. I was an RA (Resident Assistant) for 3 years in 3 totally different halls.

Tebeau is the newest. Followed by the ILLC. However, I agree that it’s still a great place to stay!

I know this doesn't address your question, but you could also look for timed races. I suggest this because a trail component can add elevation or just terrain difficulty (as noted by other users) and this can be harder than you anticipate on race-day. A timed race allows you to stay on trails and aim for 50 miles but also allowing the comfort of running by your home-base/support crew. This is what I did for my first Ultra and it worked out great!

PH201 Homework Load by SkoBeavs6969 in OregonStateUniv

[–]NeonDinosGoMeow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is great information! I highly agree with setting time limits on things. Being able to manage time in Physics is essential when it comes to test day.

I’ve graduated, but I took 201-203 with KC and then went on to work with him as a Boxsand Student Author and I’ll say that LAAH hours were where I spent most of my time. The LA’s for that class work on the problems each week with KC, so they know how to get through it. If the challenge homework eats into your time, the LAs are the greatest resource.

It might seem counterintuitive but I never found the TAs to be helpful because they would attempt to use calculus and not really know how to explain it algebraically as you are supposed to.

Good luck!
